Good land. Land with timber, farming or hunting lease potential. You can live there, farm it, grow veggies, lease it, cut firewood, sell timber or just sit on it until you can sell it once again for the same relative value or greater.

I'm, admittedly, terrible with money. Seeing this theft coming, however, I've been thinking of taking the penalty hit, cashing out my IRA, and investing in real estate as the housing market seems to be recovering and the interest rates are low right now.
